IBM Cloud Foundry Enterprise Environment (CFEE) has released the enablement for partner organizations to provide management for customers deploying the Cloud Foundry Enterprise Environment service.
The management of the Cloud Foundry Enterprise Environment service can be done by customers themselves—as their “own” management provider—or by engaging with a partner organization.
Several IBM Cloud Foundry partners are providing this service in much the same way as other IBM Cloud products are engaging teams with deep management experience and knowledge to perform that level of management engagement.
IBM Cloud Foundry Enterprise provides a full set of information to enable customers and partners to manage the Cloud Foundry Enterprise service.
